Silent Grief: Living in the Wake of Suicide Revised Edition

Product Information

In the UK, suicide is the highest cause of death among men under the age 45. In fact the highest suicide rate in the UK is recorded for men aged 40–44. Have a reduced life expectancy and/ or quality from a terminal illness and want the right to choose when you pass? But despite the numerous submissions and debates as to why more men take their lives than women, the bottom line is we cannot possibly pinpoint the exact reason. What we do know at the moment is limited and data is just data. Risk Factors Unless this changes, he suggests, "we'll fail many people who will suffer mental health conditions, or even suicide, when they can be helped."

A previous systematic review suggested that some modifiable environmental and clinical factors were associated with suicide in prison, but for other potentially important risk factors the existing evidence was insufficient to confidently assess their association with suicide. 4 The search done in this previous review 4 only used articles published until 2007. Since that time, several new studies have been done, particularly on the contribution of mental health. In addition, prison populations have increased in size in many countries, and this increase could have altered the contribution of risk factors. Another implication of these findings is that non-modifiable risk factors, such as ethnicity and offence type, might assist suicide prevention by facilitating identification of individuals at high risk using structured instruments that incorporate these factors. Screening for suicide risk, despite being recommended in many jurisdictions, 91 , 96 tends to be based on one or two questions during a wider health-care assessment on arrival to prison. 100 , 101 When structured tools are used, they do not necessarily incorporate multiple weighted risk factors based on sufficiently large samples and often have not been subject to appropriate external validation. 102 Future research needs to investigate whether stratification of risk can be accurately done. If so, safety planning can be supplemented with more resource-intensive suicide prevention therapies. Single risk factors are not sufficient to identify individuals at high risk of suicide. We estimated the positive predictive value (PPV) of the risk factors identified in this review, applied to a prison population with an annual suicide rate of 83 deaths per 100000 prisoners (ie, the average rate for England and Wales, UK, from 2011 to 2014). 19 The PPV of any particular single risk factor is low, for example current psychiatric diagnosis had a PPV of 0·3% and single cell accommodation a PPV of 0·2%. Combining two risk factors can increase predictive performance—combining current psychiatric diagnosis and single-cell accommodation gave a PPV of 0·7% (assuming risk factors are independent). It is unclear whether this predictive performance represents a clinically meaningful level of accuracy: the PPV is low, but could be useful in the context of a lower baseline prevalence of the outcome (which is less than 0·1% in England and Wales, UK, for example). https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandwellbeing/articles/middleagedgenerationmostlikelytodiebysuicideanddrugpoisoning/2019-08-13 Suicide Silence Genocide music video".

Recently, there has been notably more suicide among older men. It could be that health professionals may be overlooking the signs of depression. Thus focusing on other problems such as heart disease, which can cause depressive symptoms, as well as medications that can have depressive side effects.

We need to refrain from simply maintaining the narrative that just because men are physically strong they must therefore avoid being seen as mentally weak. We classified included studies into two groups by the type of control group: group 1 studies compared people who had died from suicide in prison with people from a randomly selected or matched control group from the same prison population, whereas group 2 studies compared characteristics of prisoners who died of suicide with characteristics of the total or average prison population during a matched period. Similar to the original review, we calculated the sample size of the control group to be proportional to that of the case group to avoid bias.Work for SOS 2023 is a year of significant growth and development for SOS, and we are putting together a team of mental health passionate professionals to fill a cross section of roles throughout the charity.
